From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

got told to crosspost over here to reach more people:

I don't know if and how crossposting functions in kbin/lemmy, so hopefully it'll work that way

Good luck! 😀

(FYI: You can skip mentioning names that way, a direct reply will show up on Lemmy. And if you want to mention someone, you'd need to add the instance name for it to have an effect. i.e. @rufus@discuss.tchncs.de )

Unfortunately nothing. Did install - reboot with acpi=off, reboot with no acpi parameter, reboot with acpi=off

Dmesg shows for the boot=-1 the first boot after install with acpi=off

No log for the try without acpi parameter 😢😢

Booting with acpi=off shows many logs with „IRQ not found for nvidia …“ (in the meaning, not wordly).

Edit: can‘t find an irq for your nvidia card

Edit 2: found a boot.log file. When trying to boot without acpi=off then no log is written, the bootprocess doesn‘t even start. From this point of view I‘d guess a Problem with UEFI. Still no idea what and where, but it‘s not graphics related if the bootprocess doesn‘t start at all… what d‘you think?

I think you can safely ignore all the errors that happen while acpi=off. That will switch all kinds of things around and the operating system can't set up the hardware properly without it, so it is to be expected that half the things crap out and throw error messages. Could be a red herring anyways.

Are you sure Secure Boot is switched to "Other OS"? (see https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1049829/ ) You could verify that with the 'msinfo32' in the guide.

And I'm really not sure if it's the UEFI. From your description it seems you're getting to the boot loader and something happens after... Maybe try not messing with the acpi, but removing the "quiet" and "splash" if they're there and adding "nomodeset" instead. After you hit Enter (or Ctrl-X with Grub) the early kernel messages should pop up. Something with loading and initrd or like that. What happens then? Does it load the kernel? Do additional log messages with a boot process appear? (If it's too fast, you can try a video recording of your screen with your phone.)

Yes, secure boot is set to Other OS - if set otherwise there’s a message after grub that secure boot is active, so pretty sure about that.

Unfortunately it doesn‘t show anything, even with no parameters at all. The only thing that shows up when changing the grub parameters is the „booting a command line“ message which stays there forever, nothing happens.
I‘ll record it with my phone when I get home later on today with the nomodeset parameter.
